Hi, im my company we are writing a software manual and we have a doubt. First, I'll write the phrase
2.1 Enter a new participant
If a new participant, you should include it in the database before starting the session
What this phrase means is "if there is a new participant, you should include it in the database before starting the session". I think that the right way to write it is the second one, because the first one doesn't have any sense because there is no verb.
My colleague says that in manuals you can omit the verb but I don't think that is correct, because without the verb the sentence doesn't have no meaning to me.
Is that phrase right? Con we omit the verb?
